Good morning, everybody.

Welcome to the NBA Daily.

Coming up, the Warriors won a game without Steph Curry.

What?

The Clippers beat the caps.

And Shakia Taylor stops by to talk about referees and the referee crisis in America.

Good morning, everybody. Good morning, Zena. I don't know if I could have sounded more serious in that rundown, the referee crisis in America.

But anyway, we had a great conversation with Shakia Taylor from The Athletic.

She wrote an interesting story about how the NBA is training referees or not training referees.

So we talked to her after the break.

I hope you guys really enjoy it.

Zena, not a lot of games last night, but there were some really important games, at least

for the teams that got wins.

Steph Curry, apparently exhausted, gets the night off.

And I'm thinking to myself, and I text you, oh, Steph's out.

Okay, so the bucks are just going to roll.

And what do you know, another night where the warrior surprises.

They surprised us by not showing up when Yokic and Jamal Murray weren't out there.

And they lose to the nuggets.

And then they surprise us by showing up when Steph Curry isn't out there. And they lose the nuggets. And then they surprise us by showing up when Steph Curry isn't out there.

And they beat the bucks.

I mean, and honestly, they handled them the entire game.
